PASSIVE/ACTIVE EXERCISE THERAPY FOR THE DISABLED
EX N' FLEX Passive / Active Exercise Therapy

How far away from my chair should the Ex N' Flex be placed ?
Once again, the distance to set the machine away from your chair will vary with the type of chair from which you are working, as well as, with your leg length. The unit should be set a distance from the chair which allows the legs to extend almost fully. IMPORTANT: THE KNEES SHOULD NOT FULLY EXTEND TO A LOCKED POSITION.

When should I try to work my muscles to override the motor ?
During your first week of use it is recommended to use only the passive motion. This allows your body time to adjust and re-establish the movement patterns which may have been interrupted for an extended period of time. Once you have achieved a smooth orbital movement pattern, it is time to begin active work.

How do I read the Control Panel on the Ex N' Flex ?
The control panel contains 5 switches. The main power switch (located on the right side edge), the on/off , forward/reverse and mode switch and finally the speed switch.

The on off switch is a 2 way pressure switch which turns the unit on and off. The forward / reverse switch is a 3 way pressure switch. The middle switch position designates no movement in either direction.

The speed switch is a pressure switch and allows you to set the speed to low, medium or high.

The mode switch is a 4 way pressure switch with each position designating a specific function. Each time you push the mode switch the light will move through the different settings.The top position designated as "Time" will allow you to set the time in 5 min. increments by pressing the left arrow. You can also decrease the time by one minute increments when you press the right arrow. When the mode switch is set on "Trip" the display will read out the amount of distance travelled per session. This measurement is displayed in meters/ yards(for USA) and is equated to walking. This setting will automatically reset to zero when the unit is turned off.

When the mode switch is set to the position marked "Total" this indicates a measurement of the on going distance travelled. The measurement is made in 10th's of a kilometer/ 10th's of a mile (for USA) and therefore, may take some time before the first number is displayed on the digital read out. This measurement is also equated to walking. This reading will display the total mileage and will not reset to zero when the unit is turned off.
